All you need is a camcorder and some skills using it, your imagination and the availability to be in Vansterdam on that day. People travelling from other locations are very welcome !A few things to consider :
1 - While recording, travelers should not mention where are they going or why .
2 - Participants are encouraged to join other fellow travelers that are going on the road to Vancouver to attend this event.
Our My Space top friends list includes those users that are going to attend this event; making easier to the participants to exchange ideas about what to film and get together later. A forum has been created for this purpose as well.Fictional stories are very welcome so please.. be creative !
